Friday, April 1: Things to do in Carson City

Today may be April Fool’s Day, but this list is no joke. Need a good laugh? Improv night at the Brewery Arts Center is always a good bet. Or check out the comedy and wine ‘date night’ package at Alatte Coffee and Wine inside the Nugget. Sing your heart at with karaoke at Whiskey Tavern or Carson Lanes. The Lost Mountain Band at Casino Fandango will get you groovin. Living the Good Life is the place to be to help DJ Bobby G ring in another birthday.
